“…Chinese, for instance, experienced harassment during the establishment of Chinatowns in the late 1800s (Chen, 2000). More recently, ostracization has occurred toward South Asians, specifically toward Sikhs after 9/11 for wearing the turban, as Islamophobia increased following the terrorist attack (Arora, 2013; Dmello, 2021). Thus, despite their economic and academic success, South Asians were found to experience insecurity and anxiety.…”

On March 16, 2021, a shooting in Atlanta killed eight people, six were women of Asian descent. This creates a new atmosphere online and offline to discuss hate crimes, racism, and violence against Asian Americans in the United States. The current research utilizes structural topic modeling and text mining to explore how the 2021 Atlanta shooting ignited debates and public discourse on the #StopAsianHate-related conversations on Twitter. The study analyzes the first 7 days of the shooting to explore the temporal patterns and emergent topics of Twitter discourses. Findings show that salient topics and temporal patterns differ from day to day, but topics such as “stand with AAPI community” and “stop racism” are prevalent throughout the 7-day period. This study discusses social media’s role in shaping and reporting public discourses, that is, how digital justice is exercised, and offers social and policy implications. There can be implications for social media’s role in shaping and reporting public discourses on social phenomena with digital justice.

“…Socially, Asian Americans have also been referred to as the “yellow peril” since the late 19th century, symbolising the Western fear of “Orientals” (East Asians) invading and dominating the West (Okihiro, 2014). More recently, after 9/11, Sikhs were ostracised for wearing turbans as Islamophobia increased (Dmello, 2021). 8…”

In separate events on March 16, 2021, an armed man walked into a spa and a massage parlour in Atlanta and shot eight people, six of whom were women of Asian descendant. Within the first week of the Atlanta shootings, more than 400,000 tweets with the hashtag #StopAsianHate emerged in response to the violence. To highlight the importance of this issue, this current study analyses 5,146 English tweets with #StopAsianHate using social movement framing. Analysis of tweets using Thematic analysis shows that proponents of the AAPI community used diagnostic framing to situate the incident in the context of systematic racial discrimination against AAPI, used prognostic framing to suggest “what” to do to resolve the problem, and used motivational framing to share action words to encourage others and to encouraging political engagements. Findings also show that other than the social movement framing, actors expressed many emotions to show their support and gave immediate reactions in response to significant events as they occurred in relation to the hate crimes. Future studies should examine whether these findings are unique to AAPI members, online social movements, or the topic of racial hate crime.
